Depositing tax under wrong code: procedural lapse; case law bars re-deposit plus refund requirement as harsh consequence.
Depositing service tax under an incorrect challan code is a procedural lapse that should be rectified by correcting the challan entry rather than by forcing re-deposit and subsequent refund; judicial precedent has quashed departmental directions requiring re-payment under the correct code and pursuit of refund for payments made under a wrong code as unduly harsh.
